S.M.A.S.H. Series

Vic Secret S.M.A.S.H.

Style: Pale Ale

Strength: 4.8% a.b.v.

Generous dry hopping provides a dominant tropical fruit aroma with notes of pineapple and passion-fruit along with hints of pine. Vienna malt contributes a sweeter malty character with a subtle toasty character.

Equinox S.M.A.S.H.

The intensely aromatic Equinox hops are added at 4 stages during the boil and again as a dry hop addition and contributes a unique herbal, resinous aroma and flavours or juicy papaya and grapefruit zest.

Centennial S.M.A.S.H.

Style: Pale Ale

Strength: 4.8% a.b.v.

Tasting Notes: A single malt and single hop pale ale using one of our favourite hops; Centennial. This hop brings restrained citrus flavour and clean bitterness to the beer with floral notes on the nose. Concerto malt provides a solid and earthy malt backbone allowing the hop flavour to come to the fore.
